Between the shade of the cottage and the sun of the garden, a young woman spends her summer days almost always alone. Her mobile phone provides some company, as do the rare visitors that stop by. The filmmakers show us Beatrix through such an intimate gaze that we can only speculate about its staging. What results is a physical and gestural portrait of a young woman, heir to the feminist ennui of Chantal Akerman's cinema.
